I post mainly in Off Topic to hack off those who are taking this way too seriously, and being way too nasty about it.
Boxcar and Hcap are the two biggest offenders.
They've had hundreds of exchanges that have amounted to nothing but a waste of time.

PS- i blame horseracing for all of this. If the sport hadn't gotten so darned ridiculous we would be talking about races and other stuff. Folks have lost interest in the game and are turning their attention to other topics on this board

Okay...who do you like in the 8th at Parx?

Like I once said, 'Off Topic' provides a kind of cathartic for the release of pent-up emotions. You stated your point quite eloquently.

I gotta go to work, or you had better believe I'd have a loser for you.
If the field is more than six horses I can provide two losers for you.
Hit me up anytime

This is why I don't go on message boards innnnnnn, I don't know, South Africa and take political sides.
My opinion on their affairs doesn't amount to a hill of beans if I'm not a citizen who can vote and influence those elections

Apology accepted but not required POT.
This is one of the greatest things about our two countries and all free citizens of the world - free speech.
As for foreigners ability to influence elections in other countries
it seems very apparent that can and does happen more than we would care to believe. As Barack Obama just days ago interfered hugely by his simple 2 sentence support of our current Prime Minister.
I am very fond of American/Canadian history and progress through 2 world wars, and realize the great ties we have had developed over the years.
My comments may certainly amount to a hill of beans to you and many more, but to see America embrace communism hits so close to home especially considering the lives lost to remain a free society.
By the way Keep America Great!!

I used to love betting the horses on the weekdays...so I could save the weekends for my family responsibilities. But the weekday racing has gotten so unappetizing that I have recently taken up golf instead.

Looks like the pretty boy is going to keep his throne. You have to love nepotism.

I think that you are correct, but it looks like his wings are clipped.

As a child I liked his father for fighting to keep Quebec part of the country, at least he stood for something that wasn't all that popular in Quebec. Justin couldn't hold his father's jock strap.

Sorry, but I can’t find, in this thread, where POT made this statement.

popular vote
Isn't it interesting that the Conservatives won the popular vote in Canada but lost the election, and in the US some people are trying to get rid of the Electoral College

One small step for non-specific personhood and blackface, one giant stumble for
peoplekind.

Ha...losers are you specialty, heh? I guess that's okay for people with infinitely deep pockets, but fortunately mine are anything but.
